EXCEPTION TEXT FOR INDIA
REF: STATE 85948
1. (SBU) On August 13, PolEcon Chief met with Andrej
Slapnicar, Acting Head of the MFA Security Division, to
request Slovenia's support for the NSG draft exception for
India at the August 21-22 Plenary, per reftel. Slapnicar
said his preliminary reaction was that Slovenia was
"encouraged by the Board of Governors' consensus." He
noted, however, that Slovenia could not give an official
response before August 19, once MFA Director General Pipan
returns to Ljubljana and has a chance to consider the
material. He indicated that Slovenia would likely support
the USG position. In an August 12 meeting, Emboffs also
made these same points with Marjan Levstek, Acting Head of
Slovenia's Nuclear Safety Administration. Levstek
similarly commented that although he was not in a position
to give an official answer, "I don't see a reason not to
support [the exception text]."
2. (SBU) Post will report any follow up.
